eli5 how does wifi work on airplanes?
In: 1
Internet connection on airplanes can be achieved by different means…
Either by geostationary satelites (long latency, slow speeds, but reliable) or by ground towers (better speeds, but less reliable and doesn’t work over ocean)
When you add 200+ people connecting you get that slow painful experience
I heard that planes might have starlink connection in near future… That could solve speed and reliability issues
